The new edition of the MLA Handbook provides a "universal set of guidelines" (see left column) for citing sources for ALL types. The major elements of ALL citations are below:
CORE 1: Author
CORE 2: Title of Source
CORE 3: Title of Container
CORE 4: Other Contributors
CORE 5: Version
CORE 6: Number
CORE 7: Publisher
CORE 8: Publication Date
CORE 9: Location
The 8th edition of the MLA Handbook substantially changes how citations are formed.
All citations now follow one basic "core element" standard.
